In the evening, Yuzhu took his men and started routine street patrols.
Since the Procuratorate of the Five Cities and the Military and Horse Department were under the jurisdiction of Yuzhu, the wrangling of public security in the outer cities has disappeared.
The officers of Shuntian Government Office, Daxing County Government Office, and Wanping County Government Office all have a tacit understanding and no longer participate in street patrol activities, but specialize in various criminal crimes.
This means that all the soldiers patrolling the streets in the capital at night are all soldiers and horses under Yuzhu.
As in the past, after Yuzhu mounted his horse at the gate of the palace, he passed through the Taipusi Hutong, passed the West Fourth Archway, crossed the Shengqiao Bridge, and made a full circle around the entire palace from west to east.
Unlike the mix of people in the outer city, the inner city was all made up of bannermen, except for a very few people granted titles by Han officials.
Banner people in the inner city generally have higher incomes and a relatively stable life, and petty theft is rare.
Different from the outer city, the security areas of the inner city are garrisoned according to the residential location of the Eight Banners.
The main problem of public security in the inner city is that the princes and nobles get drunk and make trouble, or break into the night ban.
With the Imperial City as the center, there are two flags of straight yellow and bordered yellow to the north; to the east of the Imperial City are two flags of straight white and bordered white; to the west of the Imperial City are two flags of pure red and bordered red; to the south of the Imperial City are two flags of pure blue and bordered blue.
, the Eight Banners Manchuria, Mongolia, and Han troops were stationed respectively.
Each flood season in the imperial city is guarded by the eight Manchurian banners. Each banner has two infantry cadets responsible for the defense of each banner. In addition to a number of troops under each flood season, there are also 12 infantry troops.
There are three infantrymen on the fence.
Duipiao is the police station in the inner city. The fence is the security guard box.
These defensive officers and soldiers, collectively called the Eight Banners Infantry, were all subordinates of Yuzhu.
There is a large fence at the front gate of the outer city. The bannermen of the old imperial capital were all called "Da Shi Lan'er".
Anyone who talks about "big explosion" is a new outsider, and the old banner people will know it when they hear it.
It is impossible for jade pillars to patrol the city every day, and it is also impossible not to patrol the city.
Every month, Yuzhu always takes five or six days to lead troops to patrol the city at night.
There is no way, it is his duty, if Yuzhu does not personally participate in the patrol of the city, the censors will impeach him.
Yuzhu personally patrols the city. Basically, this time it is the inner city, and next time it will be the outer city. The route is not fixed each time.
Just in front of the large team, two soldiers were riding on tall horses, each holding a huge lantern in their hands.
On the lantern on the left is a line of eye-catching bold black characters: Zong Renfu You Zongren Yu. On the lantern on the right is: Infantry Commander Yu.
These two official positions are very targeted and are enough to deter lawless princes and ministers.
Yuzhu's city patrol team is particularly unique.
On his left side were three columns of soldiers.
These soldiers held in their hands half-human-high shields, three-meter-long half-moon-shaped steel forks, two-meter-long thick iron rods, special wooden shackles, special iron chains, ropes, and other necessary tools for public security.
instrument.
On the right side of Yuzhu, there is a group of new officers and soldiers with rifles on their shoulders, led by a team officer (company commander).
This arrangement is very scientific.
If there are not many thieves, the soldiers on the left can rush up with cold weapons and capture them directly.
If the thieves attack in large numbers, the New Army soldiers on the right can form a formation at any time and anywhere to suppress them at the nearest location.
When the large team reached the Dongsi Archway, because the journey was too long, Yuzhu ordered a rest for half a quarter of an hour.
Yuzhu got off the horse, and Wu Jiang quickly handed over the water bag.
After drinking some water, Wu Sheng brought a small folding horse and asked Yuzhu to sit down and rest.
Yuzhu sat on the horse, and Wu Jiang took out a cigar from his arms and handed it to Yuzhu's hand.
Wu Sheng lit the fire sickle and lit the cigar for Yuzhu.
Yuzhu took a long drag on his cigar and blew out several smoke rings, looking extremely comfortable.
"Sober up." Following Yu Zhu's instructions, Wu Sheng found the rum bottle from his horse, poured half of it into the goblet, and shook the glass gently.
About a quarter of an hour later, Yuzhu held a cigar in his left hand and a wine glass in his right hand. He drank three sips of wine in one puff, not to mention how moist he was.
In fact, Kangxi also tasted a series of foreign wines such as rum.
The alcoholic content of this foreign wine is not high. Drinking one or two glasses is just like drinking Beijing rice wine. It is impossible to get drunk.
What's more important is that Yuzhu is a pure drink that will never get drunk after a hundred cups, and Kangxi knew this very well.
Anyway, with Kangxi's tacit approval, it was completely okay for Yuzhu to drink a small amount of wine while patrolling the city.
Even if he was impeached by the imperial censor, the old emperor would remain silent, so there would be nothing wrong with him.
All the rules of the game in the Qing Dynasty were based on the will of the old emperor.
As long as the old emperor approved it, even if it was an act that violated the rules, it would be as if it never happened.
If the old emperor has long disliked you, even if you have not made any mistakes, he can find faults and deliberately bring you down.
During the break, Yuzhu smoked and drank alone. His subordinates also took out chicken legs, cakes, steamed buns, and started to add various pickles.
Today, under the auspices of Yuzhu, the treatment of the Eight Banners Infantry is higher than that of the other Eight Banners soldiers, except that it cannot be compared with that of the firearms battalion.
Objectively speaking, as long as the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners Infantry Army, including the New Army, do not gamble or invest randomly, they will definitely live a comfortable life and become a properly wealthy class.
After resting, Yuzhu led a large team and continued to inspect various places.
In fact, Yuzhu's inspection is just a formality.
A real thief would be out of his mind if he didn't get out of the way in advance when such a large team was coming.
However, the form of Yuzhu leading a team to patrol the city is also indispensable.
In short, formalism is prevalent in official circles. When you should speak, you must not be shy, such as tonight's inspection.
After setting off again, Yuzhu felt a little sleepy, so he simply sat in an official sedan and was carried around the city by the bearers.
There is no way, Yuzhu has too many concurrent jobs, both civil and military. Whether riding a horse or sitting in a sedan, Yuzhu can stand up completely and is not afraid of impeachment at all.
After a complete inspection, Yuzhu took out his pocket watch by the light of the lantern and saw that it was already the fourth watch.
Come on, when I go home at this time, besides making noise with my family, I can't squint my eyes to catch up on sleep.
Anyway, the Xihua Gate has been opened, and Yuzhu simply entered the palace, was served by a young eunuch, washed himself, and then came to see Kangxi.
"Extreme Spiritual Chaos Jue"
At this time, the lights were already on in Kangxi's palace. However, the team of eunuchs and maids carrying hot water basins, white towels and other items were still waiting at the steps outside the palace gate.
Well, Yuzhu knew at a glance that the old emperor was still lying on the dragon couch reading a book and did not get up.
Fei Yanggu, the imperial minister on duty, saw Yuzhu coming. He quickly saluted and said respectfully: "Please be safe, Mr. Zhu."
Fei Yanggu is also a descendant of the clan. However, his official position and title are much lower than that of Yuzhu, and Yuzhu is his immediate superior. Only by greeting him can he show his special respect for Master Zhu.
Yuzhu asked him with a smile: "Did you have anything going on last night?"
"Replying to Lord Zhu, Lord Long Live got up several times last night, as if his stomach was not feeling well. I asked Wei Zhu who was on duty at night, but Wei Zhu said that Lord Long Live had spoken and there was no need to call the imperial doctor." Fei Yang
Gu didn't say much, but he explained the whole story clearly.
Objectively speaking, the descendants of the clan in the early Qing Dynasty still had a lot of useful talents, which was also the fundamental factor for the Qing government to stabilize its power.
Of course, Taqing's luck is really not bad.
When Wu Sangui started his army, he was so powerful that he confused the young Kangxi.
However, after Wu Sangui captured Hunan, he was so dizzy that he stopped moving.
This gave Kangxi a chance to breathe, allowing him to calmly mobilize the Eight Banners soldiers and the Green Camp soldiers to come to confront him in large numbers.
In addition, Geng Jingzhong had already entered Jiangxi, and the progress was very smooth. Zheng Jing raided Geng's lair, which was a great help to Kangxi.
Since there was something wrong with the old emperor's health, Yuzhu didn't care what Wei Zhu said. He walked straight to the door of the palace and said loudly: "Your Majesty Yuzhu, please see Khan Ama."
The old emperor, who was leaning on the dragon couch and reading a book, heard Yuzhu's voice, and smiled and said to Wei Zhu, who was kneeling on the footboard: "This kid must know about getting up many times last night. Just look at it."
Well, he will definitely force me to call the imperial doctor."
Wei Zhu blinked and thought about it carefully, this was really the case. Yuzhu could actually be half of Long Live Lord's family.
Especially when it comes to Long Live Lord's dragon body, Yuzhu will definitely not be able to give up as long as he doesn't call the imperial doctor.
"Long live Lord, it's really time to call the imperial doctor." Wei Zhu was also worried about Yu Zhu's probing questions, so he quickly changed his tune.
Kangxi glanced at Wei Zhu and asked him: "It seems you didn't persuade me to call the imperial doctor last night, right?"
Wei Zhu complained secretly. Isn't this just settling an old score?
Fortunately, Wei Zhu had served the old emperor for many years and was very familiar with the old emperor's temper. He quickly explained: "Long live my lord, you are a famous doctor who has never been born in the world. Your old man said that there is no need to call him an imperial doctor. I believe it."
The old emperor said nothing. Wei Zhu's heart suddenly sank. This was because he was obsessed.
Sure enough, after Yuzhu came in, the first thing he did was to ask the old emperor to call the imperial doctor to take a look.
But the old emperor said: "Wei Zhu said that it is a trivial matter and there is no need to call the imperial doctor."
Yuzhu glared, stared at Wei Zhu coldly, and said angrily: "You bold slave, how dare you do so perfunctory, your butt is itchy again? My dear, I beg you to drag Wei Zhu out.
Hit fifty big boards again.”
Wei Zhu was frightened and paralyzed on the spot, but he did not dare to beg for mercy. He just kowtowed and apologized.
When the old emperor lost his temper, the more he begged for mercy, the harsher the punishment.
"Fifty boards are too much, how about ten boards?" Seeing that Yuzhu was angry, the old emperor calmed down.
"Ten boards is a bit too little, let's go for thirty boards?" Yuzhu gave in.
The old emperor looked at Wei Zhu, whose forehead was already red. After all, he was the old man next to him. He couldn't bear it, so he said: "Both of us, please stop fighting. Let's fight for fifteen minutes."
"Come here, drag this old dog Wei Zhu out and beat him fifteen times." Yuzhu stopped arguing and called the guards directly in front of the old emperor.
When Wei Zhu was dragged out, he looked deeply at Yuzhu and said silently in his heart, thank you Mr. Zhu for saving me!
